A year later, in West River City.
The streets of the city were bustling with people. Outside a small noodle shop sat quite a few people, with one table standing out in particular—a man and two women. The man exuded nobility, while the women seemed as though they had stepped out of a painting.
These three were Li Fan, Lu Yuan, and Yue Qingqiu.
After the battle in Jade City, they distanced themselves from the turmoil, as Li Mountain's current strength was still insufficient to contend with the court.
Master Xing took Huang Xiong to cultivate.
The second senior brother was to travel the world.
The junior brother needed to retreat and comprehend the Sword Dao, aiming to break through to the Seventh Realm. Li Fan thought that when he next met the junior brother, he would likely be a Seventh Realm Great Sword Cultivator.
They, too, retreated for cultivation for a period, only arriving recently in this relatively small city within the heart of Da Li.
